Now I don't know this for sure on your car, but on some of the older Chevy Caprices you had to change the plugs by going at them through the wheel wells. Basically all you had to do was remove the tire and splash shield and you had easier access from the side than from above. Don't know if this helps--just some idle speculation. Good luck!

ok are you waiting? there's a great engine strut fixed from the engine to a front mount. Get a coat hanger waiting, do away with the nut and bolts on the the two facets of the mount and do away with the strut. you will go with a pry bar or some thing on the component of it to now pull the motor to the front of the motor vehicle, engine will circulate a competent 3 -4 inches. i think of at this component yo will understand what the hanger is for, in case you have help might astonishing for them to loop the hanger by using the mount holes which you in basic terms moved to hold the engine forward. this provide you as plenty room as you will get. good success to you.

I used to own a 95 TA and I know from experience that everything under the hood is tightly packed together. There isn't room for s*it under there. I would suggest taking it to a mechanic or someone who is able to remove the motor mounts to get the engine out of the way.

The best way I know of is to try to attack it from under the car. If that don't get it you can all ways dismount the a/c compressor and get a buddy to hold it out of the way but DO NOT disconnect the a/c lines. You risk contaminating the system with moisture and you don't what to know what you have to do to fix that.

good luck, we would actually take the bolt out of that motor mount and jack the passenger side of the engine up
